(Huawei), and its emergence as a global brand from China. Huawei entered the Chinese telecommunications equipment market in 1987. Despite its late entry, it quickly made its presence felt, outwitting giant international telecommunications companies in the process. The company was also hugely successful in the developing markets such as Russia and Africa. However, Huawei faced several challenges in mature markets such as the US, Australia, and Europe. In 2011, the company started facing opposition in the US, Australia, and the European Union for its telecom equipment. Both the US and Australia alleged that Huawei entered backdoors into its establishments at the behest of the Beijing government, giving China a better chance to spy on the US. The allegations had their roots in the past association of Ren Zhengfei (Ren), Huawei’s founder, with the PLA. Answer the following question. Q1. Analyze the effectiveness of Huawei’s lobbying efforts for tackling espionage accusations against the company. Q2. Design a cohesive global corporate communications program to proactively address media speculation about Ren’s close ties with the PLA. Q3. Tackle concerns related to lack of openness and transparency at Huawei. Q4. Apply strategies that help Huawei achieve brand recognition in the intensely competitive US smartphone market and enterprise market.

In 2010, Triumph sold just 7,562 bikes in the UK, but 50,000 worldwide, indicating that an international interest paid off for the company. Triumph's famous factory in Warwickshire closed up shop in 1983, but the Indian factory remained, and these days, the motorcycles have become the country's Harley Davidson. The company struggles to meet demand in India, with a six month waiting list and a new factory being built. India's middle class has embraced the vehicle as an affordable commodity, even giving them as dowries in weddings. Answer the following question. Q1. Give an overview of the case. Q2. How did the bike manufacturer Triumph survive despite lost steam in his home town?

One of the largest tobacco companies in the world, BAT operated in more than 180 countries. South Korea was a tough market and several multinational companies, which had found success in many countries across the world, were unsuccessful when it came to South Korea. In such a scenario, BAT not only managed to enter the highly monopolized tobacco market in Korea, but also carved a niche for itself and became the second largest player within few years. BAT entry into the market coincided with the macroeconomic changes and liberalization in the country. By taking advantage of these changes, BAT was able to establish itself firmly in the market. By gaining thorough understanding of the market, BAT introduced several new products with low tar content for the Korean consumers. However, by early 2007, with changing attitudes towards smoking and increasing prices of tobacco, industry experts felt that BAT could be in for some tough times ahead. Answer the following question. Q1. Analyze the entry and expansion strategies of BAT in South Korea. Q2. Examine the localization strategies of BAT in South Korea. Q3. Examine the challenges faced by BAT in South Korea.

It discusses Tesco's international ventures and elaborates on some of the strategies that it followed in the non UK markets. Tesco entered Turkey in 2003 by acquiring the Kipa Kitle Pazarlama Ticaret ve Gida Sanayi AS (Kipa) chain of supermarkets and operated under the name Tesco Kipa. It started operating hypermarkets and then introduced other format stores in the country. It opened Tesco Express stores which were smaller than hypermarkets, and sold a wide range of food products. To cater to the needs of shoppers who preferred to shop at open air shops and small mom and pop stores called bakkals, Tesco Kipa opened smaller stores called supermarkets. It also operated through Kipa Extra stores, which were larger than hypermarkets. Tesco Kipa initially operated in the Izmir region and later expanded to other regions. It localized its operations by offering products preferred by the local people. In spite of its best efforts, Tesco did notmanage to become one of the leading players in the market and its market share was at just 1% as of 2011. With Tesco closing its stores in Japan due to poor performance, analysts opined that it might also exit Turkey soon. However, Tesco continued to expand in the country and acquired Ardas Supermarket chain in November 2011. It remained to be seen if Tesco would be able to succeed in the market or would make an exit. Answer the following question. Q1. Analyze the entry and expansion strategies of Tesco in Turkey. Q2. Examine how Tesco localized its retail practices in Turkey. Q3.

B&Q entered the Chinese market in the year 1999 by opening a store in Shanghai through a joint venture with Home Decorative Building Materials Limited, a Shanghai based property developer. At that time, the DoitYourself (DIY) concept had not gained popularity in China. Overcoming the initial challenges, B&Q was able to establish itself firmly in the Chinese market. B&Q modified its stores to suit the Chinese consumers and introduced the concept of 'BuyitYourself.' The company's growth coincided with the rapid infrastructural development in the country, and increased activity in the housing sector. The rapid growth of the Chinese home improvement industry led several leading international companies like IKEA to expand their operations in the country. By late 2006, B&Q faced stiff competition from foreign as well as local companies like Orient Home. The case examines the entry and expansion strategies of B&Q in China and how the company is positioned to face increasing competition in the Chinese home improvement industry. Answer the following question. Q1. Analyze the entry and expansion strategies of B&Q in China.

Assignment Solutions, Case study Answer sheets Project Report and Thesis contact aravind.banakar@gmail.com www.mbacasestudyanswers.com ARAVIND – 09901366442 – 09902787224 International Business CASE STUDY (20 Marks) MTV Networks (MTVN) had over the years developed a reputation for its ability to provide localized content without diluting what MTV stood for. However, the company faced the most challenging test in late 2007 with its launch of MTV Arabia in the Middle East, which some experts considered as the biggest launch in the channel's history. While the market in the Middle East offered MTVN with huge opportunities due to its huge youth populace, MTV's controversial content that was known for angering religious, political, and conservative communities could easily backfire in the conservative environment prevalent in the region. On the other hand, too much localization to suit the tastes of the region could dilute MTV's global brand. The strategy adopted by MTVN to enter and expand in the Middle East was not so conducive and also the channel faced many challenges. Answer the following question. Q1. Explain the issues and challenges in entering and expanding operations in new markets which were culturally different from the organizations home/traditional/existing markets. Q2. Discuss the pros and cons of entering a new market with a standardized/adapted product to suit local preferences.
